Wendy's relaunched a version of their restaurant in Japan recently and some of the sandwiches are downright bizarre. Among the options: a $16 hamburger topped with a generous helping of foie gras (pictured above). The sandwich runs costs ¥1,280, or about $16.43. There is no word on what prompted the idea. 
Other sandwich offerings include "the Avocado Wasabi hamburger and the Truffle and Porcini Grilled Chicken sandwich." The chain plans to open around 100 restaurants throughout the country over the next five years and believes there is room for up to 700 franchises. 
Evidentally times are good for the number two hamburger chain in the United States, as they emerge from a prolonged identity crisis.
